CONCRETE
ABSTRACT
Polymer concrete, known also as resin concrete, is a
constructional composite, a variation of concrete, in
which traditional binder - cement, has been completely CONCLUSIONS
replaced with synthetic resins with a hardening agent
and filler: mixture of sand-and-gravel and quartz powder.
Binder of polymer concrete is crucial for improved Due to properties of polymer concrete, products made of this material
are durable and strong, are characterised by higher mechanical
strength in relation to ordinary concrete, and particularly resistance to loads than traditional concrete which means that the
cross-sectional area for comparable load classes are smaller in case of
for chemical resistance. The weakest part of standard
concrete - the hydraulic mineral binder was eliminated 1 polymer concrete products - thus they are lighter than concrete
products which results in easier and quicker installation.

Due to natural components it is an environment friendly material,


debris may be reused - aggregate may return to the production process.
